Settle down there peepz, there was no vote for our AA flying at compass. That contract was bid for by Trans States Holdings, whom then gave it to compass, once again, we had no say in whether or not it would be our flying. Our pilot group and Union had absolutely no hand in that AA contract bid. This is the same way Skywest gets its flying, as well as almost every other regional. The only reason TSH was given the option to bid for that AA flying (along with Skywest, PSA, Mesa, and every other regional that did bid for it) is because eagle voted it down. Its not our fault AA mainline decided to open eagles flying up to the market. You want to point fingers? There are two groups responsible for that flying leaving Eaglevoy, mainly it was AA mainline looking for the cheapest possible feed, secondly, Eagle. I feel for the eagle guys, its BS what happened. They deserved a good contract, I would have voted no myself. But to say we (Compass Pilots) are responsible for it is blasphemy. Go sling mud elsewhere.
